National Journal hosts a policy summit that answers how a transformation in transportation energies will fuel America's future.

What alternative fuels are most poised to succeed? What different factors, including both government policies and private-sector movements, will determine the most dominate alternatives? Given the advantages to our environment and economy, should the federal government increase its support for alternative fuels, or is the private sector filling this void-and if so, how? Furthermore, how should environmental concerns be considered in this debate?

Join National Journal for a policy summit convening key government officials, industry experts, and advocates from all sides to discuss the future of American energy as it pertains to our nation's transit systems.
